The Student Council is composed of the President and Vice-President of the Student Body, the President of each class, the Editor and Associate Editor of each student publication, and the President of each student organization. The Student Council meets each year before the opening of school to plan the calendar of activities for the year and to discuss the major current issues of student life. During the school year regular meetings of the Council are held . Under the auspices of the Council, student body meetin gs are held each Friday morning. The men's and women's rE.creational representatives are elected officers of the student body. ·These representatives, with the counsel of the school's Athletic Director, plan and arrange for recreational trips to city playgrounds and for the competitive sports: men's basketball, football, and baseball; and women's basketball and softball. Twice each year, fall and spring, the Student Body arranges for College Day , at which time the friends of the school and especially prospective students are invited to tour the buildings and become acquainted with the details of school life. STUDENT PUBLICATIONS The Student Body sponsors two student publications: a weekly newspaper, the BIOLA CHIMES; and a yearbook, the BIOLAN. These serve to keep a record of school life, to interest young people in the College as a place of healthy activity, and to inform the friends of the school of items of current interest.
